Racontesse Journal: Mercurial Delights

… was a phrase I was both charmed and delighted with. It was a recent remark made by my new publisher, Mercuria Press at a book trade show in the US.

“Fear will give you Fight

Fight will give you Freedom

Dive in and Swim”

“After her declaration to become a ghost, her sister had given a nervous half-laugh and said that she didn't want Adelaide to do anything to scare her. Adelaide had agreed, but said she'd move things around her home just to confuse her. And laughed too. Her husband, Simon, had told her not to be morbid and reminded her that the consultant wasn't sure. It was possible she might live.”
